Escort Touring 101 & What To Do When A Client Pays For A Trip
2014 more than any other year I have travelled extensively. 2-3 times or more Every month I was off to some local. It was wild and fun and crazy.
And honestly, for the state I was in, I wasn’t making any real money consistantly, majority of the money I made was from other places.
So I decided to attempt to write out my experience with Touring on my own as well as things I do when clients pay my travel expenses.
Trusted Traveller Programs
If you know your going to be hopping about frequently there are some programs you should know about to help speed things up during your travels, below are the ones I’ve found most beneficial.
TSA Pre Check - Good for alot of the major airports in the US. Allows you to zoom through the lines and not have to remove shoes, computers or belts. When you are running late and the difference between catching your plane or not is the TSA line you will be happy for this.
Global Entry - If your going to be globetrotting, you really want this. If you ever thought about working in places like Dubai, Australia or Asia you REALLY want this. Why? If your smart you will be bringing back currency exceeding the 10K USD limit, you are not going to want to declare that because it will open a whole host of problems, namely “Where did you get the money from?”. If you keep making trips to these places, for no apparent reason eventually someone will get curious. You vacation in Dubai 10 times a year? This way ma'am… Your not hurting anyone, your not dealing in drugs, you are a low risk traveller for all they care, GE will allow you to enter back into the US without too many, if any problems.
There are more programs you can Read About Them Here.
Airline & Hotel Loyalty Programs
Ideally, you should pick a few select hotels & airlines that you like and join the loyalty program. I spoke a little on this in my other guide How To Survive A Long Distance Flight but here is a bit more detail:
Depending on how you present your self and where you travel you may want to join different programs here are a few of my favorites:
Starwood Preferred Guests - Include the St.Regis and The W Hotel chains
Marriott Rewards - Only the Marriotts
Kimpton Karma Rewards - Includes hotels like The Epic, Hotel Palomar, signing up gets you free Wifi for the hotels! This is my favorite USA program.
Europe, Asia, Middle East
Golden Circle - Shangri-La hotels, I have Jade Tier and the service you get with it is amazing.
Hotels will ALWAY give you preference and treat you to upgrades and nice things when you book directly with them over a 3rd party site. However there is one 3rd party program I highly recommend:
Hotels.com - Stay 10 Nights get one free. If you often stay at hotels that cost 300+ a night and you rack that up, thats a 300-500 room yours for a night for free. They award you according to how much you spend on average.
A Good Tip: Get memberships with the hotels but use Hotels.com to book them, when you check in just let the desk know your a member so you can get points. If it ever comes a time when your due for a free upgrade, and have your 10 nights in Hotels.com, book the hotel with Hotels.com then upgrade your room when you check in at your hotel! A free spa suite! (Perfect for when you need a fancy place for new photos)
The same deal can be said for airlines, however theres no good site like hotels.com for airlines, however with some airlines you can ‘cheat’ a little.
Emirates - Emirates has a partnership with Alaska Airlines….It is much cheaper to buy miles from Alaska than Emirates….Especially if you have a travel points credit card. You can cheaply buy enough miles from Alaska for first class or business class on Emirates. Just buy the miles then transfer them over to Emirates.
One World Alliance - American Airlines, British Airlines, Japan Airlines. I became an Emerald member and more than once I have received a free flight. Whenever I can not use Virgin, I go with one of the OWA.
Now Lets get on to something that alot of people want to know:
Potential tours can be hard, you have to decide where will work best for you, where to advertise, yada yada.
Well, I’m going to save you some trouble.
What should I charge during a tour
Some ladies have lower or higher prices depending on the city, for NYC $500 is a good average for a lady at 300-400 someplace else for example, an NYC lady in the midwest who is $500 might do $400. Some people don’t change. It’s up to you what you want to do. If you want to change prices, look at native ladies who look like you to see what they are charging and match them. Just keep in mind that you have to make back a minimum.
How much money is needed for a tour?
Most Places in the USA: It will cost around 1K - 1.5K for airfare and hotel alone. Places closer to your home will obviously be less but if your going from Los Angeles to Boston or from New York to Miami, thats a good average.
Worldwide : Easily 3K alone for airfare and hotel.
With ads, it depends on how you market yourself. Your ad budget can be as low as $10 all the way to 1K+.
When booking flight and hotels, check the cancelation policy. Make sure you can easily cancel or change in case of anything.
How do I figure out where to tour?
Put out feelers. This works best for Eros Guide, put out base ads in other cities describing a fly me to you package or a potential tour date and see how many guys line up. Look on eros guide and see what kind of escorts are advertising in the city you want. For example, Atlanta is filled with buxom T&A for days, type of ladies, you may do well if you fit that look. Latinas dominate Miami. Little things like that can help you build a list.
You can also pick a lady who is similar to you in rates and looks and copy her tour city list. just don’t be that person who follows the poor lady around like a puppy…its okay if you cross paths once or twice but the same exact tour schedule? Ladies are not dumb.
Where To Advertise For A Tour
A General consensus has agreed that a general combination of Eros Guide, P411 and Date-Check net the best results. Then the local review boards for whatever area your touring. ECCIE for the South, TNA for the West, TER for the East. RS2K is the Midwest favorite that is not a board. If your going to an obscure city for some Godforsaken reason, Backpage is your friend.
A little harder but not impossible. Captain 69, Punterlink, and AdultWork seem to be the kings. I especially love Adultwork and because you have to pay for C69, the people active there are more likely to book. Why waste money just looking after all, they get a list of ladies they want and then pick. easy.
Do not underestimate the reach of backpage and craigslist, it can be a joke sometimes in the US but other places it is a gold mine.
A note on other ad venues* If you can not find it on the first two pages of google for certain keywords neither can your clients and it’s probably a waste of time. A majority of ad malls are unless they are popular.
Getting Clients For a Tour
Depending on how big your tour is and how you operate, the minimum time you should wait to advertise is 1 week before the day. Ideally, I would do a month or 2 weeks before.
Some ladies offer pre booking specials and others require deposits. It’s up to you. However keep in mind that for men who want 2hr+ appointments, get a deposit, sometimes they cancel last minute and thats money wasted.
How to make back money if people cancel
Honestly? Freestyle. If you have a really nice hotel, put on your finery and head to the bar. Be shameless, your actually a guest here, there is always one man in a bar who wants to be approached or who wants to approach you. Greylist the dudes who cancel, if they want to book again, they have to pay a fee.
A City I put ads in got very little inquiries.
Don’t go unless you have enough clients to make back your investment + one hour of your time at minimum. Even that is a bit steep but sometimes you will have the last minute people who will boost profit.
A City I put ads in got no inquiries.
Cancel the tour. But NEVER announce that you are canceling it to the public. You will lose face. You will always get the last minute guys who will ask and you have two options: Tell them you are booked up, or tell them you are no longer coming but if they book an overnight or something you can come to them. Don’t ever say it’s because you did not get enough inquiries, make it seem like another place wanted you more so.
With that said heres some advice on what you can do when a clients pays for a trip
Free Trip? Huray! Congrats! Most if not all of my travels have been like this. You can use the advice above to plan your trip but for your sake heres some additional things to consider:
Go a week earlier than you need. If you client will have a hotel or your meeting him at his home, go down a week early to get some extra cash from the trip.
Know your Clients schedule: If he will be gone from 11AM - 2PM, make plans to see a client or two.
Just because a man invites you down doesn’t mean you should stop working, if anything try to see if the area would be a good tour destination for the future.
In the end if it doesn’t matter to you to work or not then by all means don’t. I just want you to know you have options.
However, make sure you know your clients personality a bit before doing this, if your not sure but still want extra money, don’t see anyone while your with them but in place go a week early or stay for a week after.
What makes a tour successful?
I consider a tour successful if I made back twice my investment. So if it cost me 1K to tour, I need to make back a minimum of 2K. The more money you put into your tour does not really translate into how much you will make. You can spend 2K on your tour but make only 500. I think you should spend the bare minimum in order to maximize profit.
Now lets get into some finer details of touring:
I never travel with more than hand luggage, airlines lose things like you wont believe. But it’s easy to pack for a week or two depending on what your planning on doing.
If your only going to be seeing clients, Pack one set of lingerie for each day your staying, An evening/party dress, One pair of jeans, one nice blouse,( or a sun/day dress for the jeans and blouse) one simple shirt, one set of heels, maybe a toy or two and your make up. Anything more can be bought or given to you by the hotel.
*A note on condoms* I like to buy the mega packs of 100 / 500 because it’s dirt cheap and I have them for a long while. Condoms have a shelf life of 4 to 5 years. I buy a new set just for piece of mind once a year. I can not bare to go to the store to buy them so I get the big pack online for $10-$20 bucks (Trojan or Lifestyle) and just hold on to it. I put some in each of my bags and secure the rest in a good cool spot. Think about doing this: Paying $5-$10 every time you need condoms is expensive, even $30 for a Costo box of 30-50 is expensive. Condoms are a must have item, buy in mass bulk and save money and always be prepared. Amazon.com & Condomania are excellent places to buy good brand name FRESH condoms for less. Also the embarrassment factor is low. Once a year vs every week or month sounds like a good deal to me.
All the above can fit in a nice Longchamp bag or other carry on luggage if you have a computer.
How long to stay at a hotel
Depends on how much volume you have and how long your staying.
If your seeing one or two guys a day and staying for a week. I’d keep the hotel the whole time.
More than 3-4 guys a day and I’d change after 2-3 days.
What To do about Housekeeping?
As disgusting as this sounds, it might be in your best interest to…..dispose of used condoms outside the hotel. Store them in a bag and dump them yourself. Workers are trained to look for signs of trafficking and the top two things to set off alarms are alot of condoms and not letting them clean the room everyday……Some hotels have a “Check In” policy, if you deny service for 48 hours, they will forcibly come in to check that you are alright, especially if your a woman and checked in alone.
If you can you should try to see the city your in. I made the mistake years back of going to beautiful places but only seeing the airport and hotel during my stay. Don’t be like that, go see a show or attraction. Enjoy yourself a bit and take pictures. Theres so much to see in the world.
